Thanks, but I do have a reason for wanting to know how this can be done specifically without running setup. I could give you more details if you like, but...if there is a simple answer without having to bore you with the details....!...?

Tthere are 2 ways of getting the EPG:

1) Let myth run it
2) Set up a cron job to run it from a shell script.

I think most of us Aussies take the 2nd option as there isn't an official tv_grab_au. So in the setup change whatever it is that calls the tv_grab_au (can't remember here it is) and just do it all as a cron job by setting up a shell script which a) runs tv_grab_au and b) runs mythfilldatabase to load the data.

I can share my shell script if you like.

HTH,
